Emissions of greenhouse gas decreased in line with Wavin’simproved energy effi ciency which reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 related emissions. Both scopes reportemissions caused by each of electricity use and fuel (oil & gas) consumption for heating and companyowned transport. As for Scope 3, we include emissions related to external logistics (Distributionnetwork), business travel, water consumption and waste disposal.Recycled input materials and waste disposalsRecycled input materials(Kg /tons)200(Production tons)500,000150400,000738094300,000100200,000Production volume50978382100,000Recycled bought-inPost-producer recycled own02008200920100Emissionsgreenhouse gasdecreasedIn two years time we managed to outperform one of our main environmental performance targets.Our goal was to improve usage of recycled materials with 20% per ton in the period 2008-2015.Per 2010 we have reached a 28% improvement, compared to 2008.This success is a result of focused programmes to increase usage of recycled material which drovethe change in our product mix towards lightweight multilayer pipes with a recycled inner core. Usingrecycled plastics helps to reduce the need for virgin material and limits waste disposal. The volume ofplastic pipes and fi ttings available for recycling is, however, limited by its long durability: plastic pipesystems have projected life times of well over 100 years and only very few are available for replacement.In 2010 we signed partnership agreements with leading plastic recycling companies to manage supply.
